Not only is this a poor location for WCMA expansion but the idea of a hotel at the bottom of Spring St. should be abandoned. The Williams Inn has the perfect location for a renovated or completely newly built New England college town inn. Dear Trustees: Please think of local residents!

South worth has already been changed by the library lights. The intersection would be much busier and affect the traffic between it and Water St., with possible backups. There has to be another site on campus that won't have as much of an impact.

In addition to the disruption of the residential area, adding traffic to this four-way intersection will add to the challenge for pedestrians (cars rarely stop for the Main St. crosswalk) and for cars either turning up the hill eastward across the intersection.

It is not just Southworth that is affected by these buildings. The new library blazes through the night like an airport terminal. Young children can now play 24/7 in my yard. Apparently the building was designed to be a "beacon of light" for the entire campus. Is light pollution not the right kind of "green"?

You have a beautiful historic community and preservation of your history is worth fighting for.

Don't destroy this iconic street. It is the charm of Williamstown and draws many tourists.

It would be unwise to radically change the residential and historic character of Southworth Street with a high-traffic building of this nature. Williams should be consulting community residents well in advance of any further expansion of the College's footprint, as the impacts on the community have already been great.

What Williams College, The Town of Williamstown, and The Clark Art Institute need is to share a common vision of how the three will evolve in the spatial and social community that we share. The thought of additional Williams College buildings without a comprehensive campus plan or a sustainability plan is fraught with concern. Like the lack of planning on where (or if) a new (or expanded) WCMA should be sited, the recent emergence of the concept to extend Walden Street to South Street through the campus to ease the flow of people between Spring Street and the Clark Art Institute shows the need for Town-Gown-Institutional cooperative planning. Any and all of these project would directly impact the residential neighborhoods that are just as important to maintaining the fabric of this place as we value it.
